Thread: Cleaning lube off cases

Lee lube is a pain being water based you have to clean your dies every time you use them or they rust.
Imperial size die wax is my choice a little goes a long way
Spray lube is fast but if your not careful it gets everywhere

A quick tumble in the walnut media after sizing does the trick.

Best thing is not to put to much lube on in the first place.

I use a stamp pad from the warehouse soaked with a few drips of Bonanza (Forsters) case sizing lube. A light roll over this is all you need.

I dip the necks into some #7 lead shot coated with graphite powder (Locksmiths Lube).

A quick wipe of the case body with the fingers and into the die it goes.

I hardly ever have to remove lube using this method.
